The laws of nature are immutable. However, we lack knowledge of the laws that are related to the human level of development. We somehow understand child development, but in general, the progress of humanity presents us with surprises all the time. The best example is how we are suddenly discovering that we are all dependent on one another, that what happens in one country affects everyone else.
The integral education explains the law of the common body, the common family, and how we can advance harmonously together toward a better future. Understanding the forces operating on our world that help us build better relationships between ourselves is the only way to reach harmony with Nature.

What will we do when robots take over our jobs? In many areas of the labor market, this is already the case. From cashiers to lawyers, computerized machines are replacing humans at an alarming rate that is only accelerating. It…
If you start loving and caring about everyone and everything in nature—the still, vegetative, animate and human—according to the law of love, then you will see the immense influence it will have. First, you will receive great satisfaction through everyone…
A meaningful interaction is any interaction where we consider: Why is it happening? What is its source? What is the desired outcome? By relating as such to our interactions, we would start moving in a direction where we start thinking…
A person with a victim mentality tends to feel as a victim of the hurtful actions of others. While some people have in fact been victims of wrongdoing, developing a victim mentality means that they become fixated on blaming their…
We need balance between us and nature. We need to take care of our necessities—to kill animals for food, and burn coal, oil and gas in order to reasonably use mechanisms, equipment and heating. We cannot avoid doing so. We…
